1/4 teaspoon Spice Islands® Crushed Red Pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup 1% milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
Filling:
1 cup (about 1-1/2 ounces) chopped fresh spinach
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
1/4 teaspoon Spice Islands® Crushed Red Pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
Topping:

1 tablespoon water

1/2 teaspoon rosemary, chopped
Directions
Dough: Combine all-purpose flour, undissolved yeast, flaxseed meal, crushed and ground red pepper, rosemary and salt in a large bowl. Heat honey, milk and oil to 120°F to 130°F; gradually add to dry ingredients. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes. With wooden spoon, stir in enough of the whole wheat flour to make a soft dough. Knead on floured surface for about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; cover with dish towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Filling: In small bowl, combine filling ingredients; mix. Set aside.
Roll dough to a 12 X 8-inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly over surface of dough to within 1-inch of edges; press filling into dough. Working from narrow end, roll up tightly. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place in greased 9 X 5-inch loaf pan. Cover; set in a warm place and let rise until doubled in size, about 50 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375° F. Bake for 20 minutes.
Topping: Beat egg white lightly with water in a small bowl. Brush mixture over surface of loaf, and sprinkle with crushed red pepper and rosemary. Bake an additional 20 minutes.
Note: You may need to cover loaf with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent excess browning. Remove from pan. Cool on wire rack.
